It was just another Sunday and time for us photopals for an outing; this time we decided to explore the middle class travel on the Badampahar special.
This train travels to Badampahar, a small mining area in the Mayurbhanj district of Odisha. This is the only train moving from Tatanagar in Jharkhand to the Badampahar mines carrying hundreds of commuters daily.
It takes four hours to reach, parks in the station for just fifteen minutes and then returns the same day. The day was full of activity and fun throughout the journey.

Dear Abhishek I visited badampahar in 1958 when in school class IX. great photos reminded me of the place and the people. It was a haat day. Born in Jamshedpur I feel emotionally attached to bdmphr and Gorumahisani.
